I think the dude is French or some such, so inevitable accent.
Worth to follow.

So this "group" of analysts. Well it's not a real "group" but can be grouped together. Generally they are worth a listen because they give one alternative to the mainstream. They often tell facts that the mainstream won't, or put things in different light that worth consideration. Some has youtube channels, others don't. Some has own website or publish on Substack, some has books. They have different experiences and background, and even political leanings. Not one I could call "far right".
About some of them I have a formed opinion, others just an impression, the remainders, not much.
I think the biggest names are John Mearsheimer, Jeffrey Sachs, and Chas Freeman. Perhaps Glenn Diesen too who hosts podcasts. And perhaps Douglas Macgregor. In Iranian related topics Seyed Mohammed Marandi is worth listening since he basically tells the official standpoint of the Iranian government. Pascal Lottaz also has a yt channel and hosts these chats. I gathered Larry Johnson can be taken less seriously and he likes to imply things and inside knowledge to embolden his seriousness. Stanislav Krapivnik is talks about Russia related stuff, he reflects the confident Russian standpoint (everyone else is weak, we can crush everybody, etc.). I've seen Warwick Powell here and there, like on Jeff Rich's channel.
There are lots of one time guests, like Max Blumenthal of The Greyzone, or Mattias Desmet who's researching mass formation.
Yet to discover more, and bound to as well.

NFKRZ is now all Putin. I don't mind listening his takes and insights about the situation in Russia, but this is too much. I think last video I watched through was the GTA IV one.
I'm not sure what's with him. Is this only what his subscribers watch? Is this what the yt algo pushes? Is this what pays? I dunno.

I just realised something... something spooky as fuck.
 
You know how sumo is derived from some ancient rituals? How it was performed in shrines, to appease the kami, to ensure prosperity? It was only later professionalised, and is now performed on a national level by salaried wrestlers, but there are still many religious elements, from how the ring is consecrated by a priest before each tournament, yokozuna entering the ring with that big white rope around his belt, to wrestlers actually throwing salt into the ring before each bout as a means of consecration. It is a deeply religious ritual, somehow performed to appease the kami for the entire nation of Japan. Kinda like how the ancient Olympic Games were performed on temple grounds, and were a form of vitalist worship of Greek gods.
 
You know when's the last time sumo wasn't performed as scheduled? March 2011. The March of the earthquake and tsunami that rekt Japan. But guess what? The tournament was cancelled a month before. Because of some match-fixing scandal. Yep, that's right. And the earthquake happened 2 days before the tournament was scheduled.
 
The earthquake happened because the sumo ritual wasn't performed. Because the kami weren't appeased. They were pissed and caused the earthquake as a warning.

Articles says he still suffers from the shoulder injury of late 2025. We could see it in January too. Wikipee says:
> dislocation of the left acromioclavicular joint
I'm not sure if he'll be able to fite in May. They might push it. I think Teru had to rassle in more serious condition. The problem I see is that Onosato is so young still. If he could recover he could be a fine yokozuna for a long time.

> Aonishiki
I do agree. I think this was a learning opportunity for him. I don't expect a yusho from him next tournament, but he will definitely prepare to be better rounded, and learn his opponents more.

Wew, Natsu Basho starts today. I was afraid I couldn't get source, but managed. Was a hard go.
So Slov, if you read this, sumo is on in the next 15 days at 18:30 CEST.
https://cytu.be/r/endcorner

I still yet to write an intro for this, what to expect whom to watch.
Ah I heard Aonishiki starts with kyujo on the first week, high chance he'll be kadoban.

At the top of the banzuke Onosato and Aonishiki will start kyujo. So the banzuke will be a bit lopsided with one yokozuna and two ozekis. But that's fine.
Atamifuji is sekiwake now, just as Kotoshoho who managed to pull a good basho last time again, after previous bad performances. I expect Tummy to keep his form and Kotoshoho to lose now.
Veterans Wkage and Takayas at komusubi.
Tiny Fujinowaka at M1. It will be hard for him, expecting losing some ranks after the basho. But it's okay, it is very good place for someone his size.
Yushinofuji at M2 and OHO at M3. I really hope the big lad will do well this time around.
Hakunofuji down at M10. Expecting better results now. Hoping problems are smoothed out with Teru.
Old man Tamawash'. Is he getting too old? Can he pull a better one now?
Towards the end of the banzuke it's Wakanosho and Fujiryoga whomster we should pay mind. Youngsters both, not without talent.

Juryo
Taker's recovery is a question. And there is his stable mate Toshinofuji. He did well last time.
And ENHO!!!!! At the very end at J14.

All right. That's about it me thinks.

today as I've been reading the best source of PROOFS (I mean, they're funded by a government, they literally can't be biased) I noticed this
https://www.rt.com/news/394082-south-korea-kim-assassination/
> Former South Korean President Park Geun-hye was making plans to assassinate North Korean leader Kim Jong-un

since koryŏ has been quite busy lately I think it warrants a specific thread

I hear lot about the Best Koreans these days. I don't think I can add much, as far as I know there is no evidence they are fighting against AFU, or that they even at the western border of Russia, any documented movements of theirs is on the Russian Far east.
But check this out. From Rodong Sinmun.
> Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un Guides Performance Test of Suicide Attack Drones of Various Types
> produced by an institute and enterprises under the Unmanned Aeronautical Technology Complex
> newly developed unmanned aerial vehicles
The ingenuity of the Korean people knows no boundaries. These drones are also look very unique with this X-wing design, surely nowhere else in the world we can observe such thing.


Anyway.
Just from these images, it seems they tested at least 3 types of drones.
That X wing thing is perhaps a simplified version of the Lancet. The one that strikes the BMW seems to have one pair of big wings. And lastly they have those tubes, maybe it's the launching tube for an UAV which wings pops out similarly to the Switchblade drone. Perhaps???

There are some developments on the Koryo.
They had some constitutional changes.
https://www.koreajoongangdaily.com/korea/north-korea-scraps-references-to-unification-limits-to-kims-powers-in-amended-constitution/12530422
https://keia.org/analysis/north-koreas-new-constitution-buries-the-reunification-project/
They exclude the South as part of the definiton of DPRK. This is a major one which Wyatt of DPA considered as a step towards peace. Which very well could be.
However Kim Jong-un uses some harsh rhetoric labeling ROK as a "forward military base and nuclear arsenal" of the US. 
And now they are doing weapon testing:
https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/6/26/north-korea-conducts-major-weapons-tests-south-training-drone-warriors
> The weapons tested included a “special mission” ballistic missile warhead, an upgraded rocket launcher with an extended firing range and a self-propelled gun-howitzer

There is a fun addendum to the constitution at the use of nuclear weapons: they launch a strike in case Kim Jong-un gets assassinated.

ITT: post interesting sattelite images and what's notable about them.

These are shots from Rondônia state, where human settlement is strikingly clear. Highways -most notably, the BR-364 flowing SE to NE- and their evenly spaced perpendicular side roads flow deep into the jungle, with deforestation, cattle herding, agriculture and urbanization (roughly in this order) following suite. This leaves a light green (mostly composed of pasture) grid dotted with gray points where lines meet, overlaid on a dark green matrix. Few other places have so many clear, sharp edges that can be easily seen from extreme heights.

Impressive... Very nice.

Always thought pivot irrigation farms looked cool. Picsrel: Aerial views of Orania, sprawling PIFs in rural Kansas
Also, while on the subject of circular cities: Nördlingen! A perfectly circular German mediaeval town built inside of a meteor crater, now known as 'die Rieskrater'. 
And while we're on the subject of curious mediaeval cities, supposedly Bologna Italy had skyscrapers during the Renaissance.

I know about Nördlingen. Cool little "medieval" town.
> round fields
I build them in Tropico 4. But sometimes it's better to keep the regular farms.

 >>/55377/
Yeah, Bologna had those. And perhaps couple other towns. They were like castles for patricians.
Some still remains.
Wanted some google streetview from the hill south of town but too many goddamn hedges, can't see shit.

> I figured the blueish patch in the south isn't water, but what is it?
Empty farmland. You can see it in use in earlier dates.

> How does it help with erosion?
Every row of shrubs along the countour lines is perpendicular to the direction of surface runoff.

 >>/55376/
Nördlingen is what every crater city wishes it could be.

> Always thought pivot irrigation farms looked cool.
They're a good contrast to all the right angles in cropland. Or the desert.

> And while we're on the subject of curious mediaeval cities, supposedly Bologna Italy had skyscrapers during the Renaissance.
Cramped and ominous. I love it.
